A couple of weeks ago, during the New York Comic Con, The Defenders took the stage together for the first time. As exciting as that must have been for the fans of the Netflix shows, it was nothing when compared to the announcement that Sigourney Weaver is set to play the big baddie of the first season. Known for her heroic Ellen Ripley in Alien, as well as for roles in Ghostbusters, Avatar, Galaxy Quest, and a host of other movies, Weaver is a perfect addition to the MCU (even if some of the fans, including myself, wanted to see her on the big screen, rather than in TV shows).

However, while the actress was announced, it wasn't said what character she'll portray. And there are quite a few options the fans can think about"¦

So if you want to know what these options are, check it out! There are no spoilers here!
